This hurt to read and I needed to read it. I think becoming a parent might be the transition to "no longer the protagonist of my own life"... that is so frightening and I need to take this time to make peace with that

I really like this framing. you can still be a protagonist; only the story is different. :)https://twitter.com/PageSeverian/status/1435837457946144770?s=19 …

Something I really value about religion is that it has given me an overarching sense of identity that transcends life stages. Still, my understanding of that overarching identity is inevitably colored by my current mortal immersions.

So it's really quite important for me to take time to really experience the transcendence. I need to let make get immersed in that as well. It's not enough to have a kind of cognitive assent to that higher identity--I have to really feel it.
